Season 1, Episode 1: Beauty and the Beast

Meg and Mari open their first season by discussing the classic original fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast! They focus on the original and first adaptation as it is frequently what is used in modern retellings. They make their checklist to use against the five modern retellings they’ll be reviewing this season, as well as why they think the story came to exist!

I mentioned this a while back, where my friend and I were embarking on a fairy tale retelling podcast. And after weeks of putting our first season together, we’ve finally published our first episode!

For our first season, we will be discussing the wonderful story of Beauty and the Beast. The episode takes a look at two of the original tales and discusses the importance of roses, libraries, and invisible servants within the popular tale.

Fableulous Retellings Podcast has done an overhaul in its episodes! Instead of picking a specific fairy tale to talk about, we are now moving forward with seasonal themes. For season 8, we are traipsing down to the Underworld! We’ll be delving into some Hades and Persephone myths, as well looking into other versions of Underworld shenanigans.
